RIP: ManPurse

Last night it finally happened...after almost four years of faithful service on two continents, my ManPurse's strap broke off, leaving me without a functioning ManPurse to carry all my ManThings (camera, passport, wallet, contact case, check book, glasses, loose change, iPod, keys, etc...). It was raining out, so I was running to the car with my ManPurse strapped seemingly safely over my shoulder, but then to my surprise, it fell to the ground: broken, pathetic, and wet. =(

Now I have three options, as I see it: I can either try to get my ManPurse fixed by someone who knows what they're doing, go get a new one (assuming I can find one that walks that fine line between girl-bag and otherwise typical camera-bag), or decide I'm done with ManPurses altogether and just forego carrying all that shit with me on a regular basis. I'm really not sure which I'll choose, but I have a feeling I would like to keep a ManPurse around, even despite my growing trend of not taking it out in public with me, as it really is a useful way to carry all my stuff.

I'll keep you updated. Meanwhile RIP: ManPurse. You've been good to me, old friend...
